No flights were "downed." They were grounded. Downed means shot down or caused to crash.

I also have had enough of Trump's blow hard lies! I really believe the man has dementia among other illnesses of old age! He can say anything he wants because he forgets it in 5 minutes! I want someone to get him impeached and convicted asap so he can go back to the cell waiting for him! I love my country, but I feel like I was the only one seeing this coming if he was elected! You all nailed it today!! Keep up your great work! 🙏🙏 Putin is stopped in 2025! ♥️🇺🇸 DEMOCRACY!!!

America, at the moment, is a problem to AMERICANS!! Not only is TRUMP'S REGIME robbing every American taxpayer he is TRYING to destroy our imperfect yet beloved constitution into an authoritarian state! The US always had an administration until now! He is ruining every relationship with our precious Allies too! America must take to the streets! I am frustrated this is happening now that I am a disabled baby boomer, with time yet without strength or money to act match my feelings! SLAVA UKRAINI!

Thank you for speaking out on the crime of rape! Yes, it is a war crime. Yes, it is CRITICAL more people are reporting it is happening and are getting help! Please, just do not dismiss only the enemy as rapists! This is a crime when the victim is a minor FULL STOP! Uncohersed consent is required for both adults! As a suvivor, I won! Every victim matters and survival is winning! I am proud of those speaking out! The shame ALWAYS belongs TO THE RAPIST! This is a VITAL MESSAGE FOR the WORLD!

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 I start each day listening to "Ukraine the Latest" to receive true reporting who started with David Knowles and his expert team. I trusted him and his team to fill me in with the most vital, truthful information out of all of the different shows one can hear all day. I am sad we are without him. In tribute to his cause the dedicated, expert team he chose, my trust is unbroken. I will continue to listen until Ukrainian victory! Thank you for re-adding his sign off at the end.❤️ 🇺🇲
